How can you use “opg” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
As described by Hofbauer et al [ 24], the quantity of bone resorbed depends on the balance between expression of RANKL and of its inhibitor, osteoprotegerin (OPG).
In osteoblast cell lines exposed to estrogen, OPG mRNA and protein levels were increased compared to controls.
Hofbauer et al have suggested that estrogen may exert its anti-resorptive effects by enhancement of OPG secretion by osteoblasts [ 11].
Osteoblasts are also known to secrete osteoprotegerin (OPG), which binds TRANCE, thus inhibiting osteoclastogenesis.
OPG is currently hypothesized to be an important paracrine mediator of the antiresorptive action of estrogen on bone cells [ 25].
